I wonder if the history of group karma might be such that 
there might be some kind of average tendency (on the part 
of the "general population," in a sense ...) to be led, 
influenced, guided, educated, politicized, nationalized, 
scientized, realized, religionized, etc, etc, to the extent that 
that very "sense of average" in terms of "reality/truth" might 
tend to create a sense of reality that, from a somewhat "less 
influenced" perspective, (as per outsiders like Theosophists, 
say ...), might seem counterproductive or even destructive, 
in part, or on the whole ... And so I wonder if those who are 
promoting the old world order (in terms of religion, science, 
politics, etc) might tend to define freer thinkers, such as 
Theosophists, to be their enemies. And so Theosophists 
might wonder what exactly the "old world order" is up to.

I thought that there might be some kind of Theosophic 
stipulation about finding ways of turning antagonisms into 
friendly relations. How? I suspect that thinking and wishing 
alone isn't going to go far.

Speculatively,
